  1. Re: They can't lead in market numbers forever by exomondo · · Score: 1 · on Report Claims Microsoft Beat Apple in Online Tablet Sales for October (winbeta.org)

    I had a completely different experience.

    No doubt, not everybody has the same size hands and same preferences. It's funny to look at the posts defending whatever screen size Apple is currently producing and even predicting that no other will ever exist. There's certainly no shortage of people out there defending the company's decisions based on their own made-up justifications - that actually turn out to be wrong.

  2. Re:easy to license most of the patents by the+computer+guy+nex · · Score: 2 · on Google's Schmidt: Patent Wars Harm Startups

    Those aren't the patents of concern. The problematic ones are those held by companies like Apple, that aren't essential but are rather pathetic and used as weapons against competitors. Let alone the hazards of patent trolls armed by companies like Microsoft, Apple, and IV.

    most of these patent articles are just FUD and click bait

    Which patent trolling firm do you work for?

    So if the technology is 'pathetic' and 'non-essential', who cares? Just don't use it.

    Apple is using all means necessary to stop KIRFs. Some of what Samsung has done is flat out pathetic, and if you do your research they deserve all punishment received.

  3. Hopefully Samsung's gig is up by the+computer+guy+nex · · Score: -1, Troll · on Apple Asks Court To Sanction Samsung; Samsung Fires Back; More iPhone Prototypes

    because this is just ridiculous. I will no longer support any of their products - mobile or otherwise. Doesn't take much research to find how much Samsung blatantly rips off their competitors.

    How about this guy? http://dcurt.is/2011/10/03/3-point-5-inches/ This blog post was refered to by the tech press a while ago. Many people seemed to agree with Apple that 3.5" should be enough for anybody with this reasoning.

  5. Re:High-end models? by Dixie_Flatline · · Score: 1 · on Samsung Takes the Lead In the Smartphone Market

    I don't know how big your hands are, but there's a pretty good reason why the iPhone still has a 3.5" screen and will probably never have one that's bigger.

    It's worth noting that my own handspan is about 21cm, or 8.25 inches. I could use only a slightly larger screen without being able to touch the furthest corner away while holding the phone one handed. The iPhone screen is going to be nearly perfect for most of the population.

    Daring Fireball linked to a nice piece regarding the size of iOS phones and music players that echos your sentiments.
